I recieved what looked like a legal documentation,which i have 19 pictures of on my phone in case of something like this happening,at the top of the page it had aa Transaction File No.*****2759-F,then in a box on the left side of paper it read,-contact papers-TIME SENSITIVE ISSUE Authorizised Release,then on the right hand side under the trans file no. it read,Specified Documentation-Cannot be Re-Assigned Only for specified Individual Identified Herein,then inside a box right under that it had,SCANBARCODE IDENTIFICATION (presenting a barcode).It said i was a confirmed recipient and registered I.D. holder,GIA Member No. *****************3442C:LSK412,Status:**APPROVED**Guaranteed Disbursment 10-15 Business Days!
It had my first and last name,my address,city,state,and zip after this information at the top of the page,then it read...
ATTENTION:CONFIDENTIAL-NON TRANSFERRABLE DOCUMENTATION-SIGNATURE REPLY REQUESTED.>>COMPLETE AND RETURN THIS ENTIRE PAGE IMMEDIATELY<< and then thats when the letter starts convincing me that this is an opportunity of a lifetime that i need to carefully make my decision as i may never be faced with an opportunity of this importantance and great value again in my lifetime.That it is a" FREE MONEY GRANT,with this special notification your search could be over.You have been individually identified,and your entitlement has been certified as 100% guaranteed.Although the specific amount you may have been requesting is not listed here,you have been pre-approved to SELECT any of the four amounts listed below or combine all of them if you need a larger amount!"
Now that's when i should have been alot more sceptical than i was already.Then maybe I wouldn't be in this situation...
"Make 2012 YOUR year to finally pay those nagging debts,things like...much needed car repairs,catch up on medical bills,afford the repairs needed for your house,and start your own business like you have wanted to for so long.This means that you will finally be independent,not needing the assistance of others or the government.You will be able to create a happy and stress free life!You will be able to spend more time with your friends and family and do the things YOU want to do."
So as if im not partially convinced and very excited,especially if this wasnt a scam,right?It goes on saying...
"This is a REAL Grant!Choose wisely as this may be your last opportunity.(all underlined).If we don't hear from you the Grant will be passed on to someone else.Grants In America LLC is dedicated to helping individuals start their own business and become fully independent.We have offered financial assistance,mentoring programs,coaching programs,educational DVD's,books and reports since 1998.Everyone's needs and goals are different.Thereffore the GIA Business Grant Award Certificate amounts are allso varied to accommodate more participants.The Grants are FREE and NEVER HAVE TO BE PAID BACK!!We only ask that you pay an acceptance fee to cover our costs to facilitate your Grant.They can be used immediatley.Terms and Conditions must be met along with your Accptance ee,Authorized Signature and Phone Number below to recieve full value."
Then there are four little boxes beside the amount of $ your wanting the grant for followed by the Disbursment and Acceptance Fee.Here are the options for those grants....

And that's how I just got $250.00 blown down the drain,that i really could not afford but took a chance on neway.I truly hope that somethihg comes out of this!It is absolutely not right for people to do that to others and get away with it and not have to pay us all our money back.It says that they are in over $1 million,at least already,and I can only imagine how that amount probably doesn't even touch the amount of money these people accepted and I'm sure cashed in, from individuals all over the world!
